I'm not ready to write Dick off as a knife wielding abusing he-man woman hater. All the HG's have been told to "kick it up a notch" for the Showtime hours...and Dick's personality and immaturity has resulted in him crossing the line. I believe the boundaries have been relaxed (by BB) in an effort to stir up more happenings and drama in the house. I think BB was not expecting the boundaries to be pushed as far as they have been by Dick. But that doesn't make him the person described here. Posts in the Current Happening thread indicate Dick has calmed down quite a bit and even refused to join in a Jen bashfest. If Dick was the sicko described in this thread, he would not be able to respect the more defined boundaries and control his "urges" to abuse women... Just my opinion...as usual.

Kep, Thanks for your comment but Dick has been sentenced and hanged so....I don't post here a lot but it's clear that once again the moral "majority" is in the house.

<55> You can't compare wanting to "slap" someone to what dick said. I just don't want to repeat what he said but it was so vulgar and sadistic- I am sure you must know what he said.if you don't it is on the page prior to this one..(I think) Actually someone posted the video (3 parts) on you tube of Jen and Kail talking about having cbs oust dick for verbal abuse..jen was crying and kail was sobbing. She said she did not know why he was so angry with her...she didn't know what she did.

If you want to accurately discuss Dick, you cannot leave out the remarks he's made as if they were never said. Ignoring them and labeling his behavior as a Showtime creation is simply not acceptable.

Verbal abuse is one thing, but the vile sadistic terms that were coming from ED were beyond being simply 'verbal abuse'.

I'm glad to hear he's toned it down and I hope it continues.

Yes I heard Dick every time he did his Howard Stern shock jock routine. And I saw Jen staying there listening and enjoying not giving him any satisfaction. BB is two steps away and she could have called out for help at any time. You can't compare this to a young child being abused by a parent that has no where to go. I am sorry for them, but I don't think its fair to have to feel bad that I don't jump on the hate Dick train because I don't feel he is playing more than a part he conceived and BB, and Jen are obviously not that concerned with. Did you also see Kail tell Jen to play it up for game purposes? I am not here to change anyones mind, just stating my own opinion. I am no expert and don't pretend to be.

SOMEBODY got through to EDick....because he has been WWAAAAAAYYY less confrontational to Jen... He still spews his lies and nasty comments about Jen....but at least it is behind her back...and that is OK with me...it's well within his rights to do that AND to hate her if he wishes.... And I totally agree that CBS is like an ineffectual parent...they NEVER seem to enforce their own rules....why start with EDick? So, I am not surprised...but like I said...they seem to have stopped the verbal "assaults" and the physical intimidation by EDick to Jen...and that's all I want!

<55> His "act" is unacceptable in any form. And people can choose to deal with him in any way they decide is effective. I'd never leave the room or area because Dick wanted me too. "Playing up" his behavior is just one way to get him to stop. His comments are crude. And his "part" is unacceptable.

<55> for me it's a matter of degree. I would not be so disgusted with Dick if he had said he wanted to slap Jen. He's: Said he wants to rape her anally until she bleeds Said he wants to watch her die a painful death Called her a piece of shit repeatedly Told her no one in the house liked her Dumped iced tea on her head Talked to her and to the other HGs about her personal hygiene, in the crudest terms possible Made some reference to her either drinking Drano or douching with Drano, or both (I read each in different places) Told her very cruelly that she was frigid The above is just off the top of my head, and doesn't encompass all the vile things he said to her. If Jameka talked this way about Daniele or anyone, I would have as much contempt for her as I do for Dick. If Jameka threw something on or at another HG in anger, I would think she should be removed from the house. Scott was removed for throwing a chair, not even at anyone. I don't believe Dick's tirades have had anything to do with him "playing the game." They have not helped him in the game, and IMO seem to rise instead from some deep-seated anger and hostility he has, which mostly does seem to be directed at women.

<55> I've played lots of games and none of the rules included taking abuse, verbal or otherwise. The verbal attacks are not part of the game, but rather part of a personality of one of the HG's playing the game.

I don't see anything wrong with that. If it's a GAME, why would something like that make Dick's defenders so indignant? I think some people, like Dick, are puzzled/frustrated/put off by the fact that Jen didn't fold and break down into a weeping, sobbing mess. It seems like sexism to me. I guess I am more sheltered than I realize. I swear like a sailor, but I only use the f-word as an epithet, not to describe the actual act of sex. I don't blithely fart in front of people, burp loudly in front of people (as Dick seemed to be doing quite a bit last night on BBAD), discuss my bathroom habits, spit constantly - even beyond his abusive language, Dick is just a million times too crude for my taste. I can someone out on the rare occasion that I feel the need, but the things he said to Jen - the "RP", etc. - it would not even occur to me to think or say that to a person. Not in a million years. I think it's disgusting. I don't think it's "game", but even if it were, I would still think it was disgusting.

I have never been around anyone like Dick in my life, and I don't plan to be. Neither did I like Boogies threat to pee and dump on Janelle, but he ended up winning the game. Who would have thought? And they ALL discuss their bathroom habits!! lol Janie said in her chat that slop is hazardous to farting. Howie could clear a room. I am not saying at all that Dick is justified with his nastiness. I think some are thinking I am. I just don't see it as escalating to physical abuse. I have been pretty sheltered too, well until I started watching BB, I know words now I never knew then!

I don't know that I see this escalating into physical violence beyond TeaGate, but I did have a change of mind in labelling his words "verbal abuse." I think I was trying to be politically correct or open-minded or what-have-you, but honestly, I think he is verbally abusive. Whether that is in the context of the game or for real, I can't claim to know, although I have my suspicions. I guess on some level we need to trust that CBS has the situation in control because if they don't and someone really gets hurt, they are gonna get their asses sued and they're not gonna want that. Or maybe they do because they think it will be good for ratings. Who knows anymore? Boogie threatened to dump pee on Janelle??? Ewwww.

Yeah, I don't get that. Not to get all Letitia Baldridge on anyone, I just don't think that is necessary. And I think other bodily functions, even those made necessary by one's diet, should be performed as discreetly as possible and then not talked about.

i was just watching it on youtube--that was just unacceptable. i'm not thrilled with jen either but she doesn't deserve that kind of abusive behavior. i'm glad he's toned it down.

I guess it all boils down to how you were raised as to if this is acceptable to you. I find this kind of behavior very disgusting and would NEVER put up with it. No wonder his daughter hasn't talked to him for 2 years and just about died when she realized he would be in the house with her. Seems to me she is not far from the tree recently either.

Well I've been gone all day, and it looks like Dick is still on trial. Did he do something else abusive today or is he still being stomped to death for something that happened two days ago?

I think Dicks actions in the house are totally disgusting. He seems to be obsessed with Jen. Gone are the days of gentlemen.
